Adding Wheels to TAZ1 Robot
New Ideas:
TAZ1 is good on smooth surfaces. however when TAZ1 has a mission on rough floorboards, or a carpet with ridges, there can be problems going around corners when the back beams hit bumps.
Purpose:
In the next tutorial, students can observe the difference between a robot using back beams, and wheels, when the robot follows a curved path. Because the wheels have less tendency to be caught in small bumps, a Robot with wheels will generally have a run that is more accurately repeatable.
The video below demonstrates how to add two small wheels to the back of your Robot.
